Well, I’m not so sure. He wouldn’t have the disadvantages of a bad economy and COVID-19 looming over him like he does now. And he would appear to Rust Belt voters as an underdog again, which they seem to appreciate. Trump is very likely to lose in 2020, but I’m scared as hell that he’ll win in 2024.
He chose the most conservative pick possible, one who made her chops with mass incarceration of Black people. The Democrats lurch further to the Right, and the best we can say is “They aren’t as bad as the worst of the Republicans yet”
This will be after 4 year of no justice department protection. Even if he is not in jail there will be enough information out about his financial operations, and the complete info on his Russian dealings, that he will be old news by then. He will return to TV, where he will become a Rush clone, and harass the Dems from there.
I am more worried who the faithful may groom in those 4 years. The next candidate they put out may have Trump’s agenda, but not be a complete idiot. That will keep me up at night.
She would have made an excellent AG. As it is, I’ll have to fall back on enjoying Kamala as she does what she does so well and completely takes apart Pence in the debates.
